Cultural Landscaping: Digital Reconstructions from Archival Documents of the Rome Slaughterhouse Project in the 19th Century

This work presents digital reconstructions for the cultural landscaping of project proposals for the slaughterhouse in Rome during the 19th century, located near Piazza del Popolo. It was demolished in 1886, leaving no visible traces in the current urban landscape. It was then rebuilt in the Testaccio district in 1888, incorporating parts of structures from the original facility. Some archival drawings illustrate an evolutionary process in the organization of the complex. Consequently, 3D modeling, regarded as an interpretative cognitive model, enables the verification of graphic information by relating it to a 3D digital space and restoring the identity memory of intangible cultural heritage and historical technological processes.
